Holidays are filled with joy and decking the halls, but another thing around the holidays that many families do is deck out some cut out cookies with colorful frostings. However, many families bake more than just the regular cut outs when preparing for the winter festivities. So here are my top ten, definitely recommend, holiday cookies! (With links to recipes!)

1.) Russian Tea Cakes

2.) Gingerbread 

3.) Peanut Butter Cookies

4.) Peppermint meringues

5.) Pizzelles 

6.) Kolache (technically a pastry, but they’re going on the list because they’re the best)

7.) Snickerdoodles

8.) Cut-out sour cream cookies

9.) Thumbprint cookies

10.) Date balls
